Headquarters, Naval Militia, N. Y., 
31 Nassau Street, 
New York, October loth, 1898. 
The Adjutant-General, 

General Headquarters, 

Albany, New York. 

Sir: — I have the honor to submit the following report on the 
■ Naval Militia d^tring the war with Spain: 

The operations of the State naval forces were divided into two 
periods — one of preparation, and one of active service — and into 
two officially distinct duties, that in the Navy proper, and that in the 
Auxiliary Naval Force. 

I. About the first of March, the Naval Militia of New York con- 
sisted of forty-nine officers and five hundred and four men. On March 
26th, orders were received from General Headquarters, to call for vol- 
unteers to proceed to League Island, Pa. , to man the monitors ' ' Jason " 
and " Nahant." On March 31st, the men were ready to proceed; 
but the detail for the " Nahant" did not leave until April 12th, as 
the vessel was not in condition, until that date, to be put into com- 
mission. During the early days of April, however. Commander 
Duncan, and other officers and men, had gone to League Island, to 
\help push the work on the monitors. The " Nahant " arrived at New 
York on April 17th, manned by the First Naval Battalion (with the 
exception of her commanding officer, Lieut. C. S. Richman, U. S. N.). 
This vessel was the first of all the monitors ready for actual coast 
protection. The officers and men were complimented by the Com- 
mandant of the Navy Yard for prompt and efficient work, and 
Commander Duncan merits the thanks of the State for his intelligent 
energy during the whole period of preparation of the First Naval 
Battalion for service afloat. Lieut. R. J. Beach, and the crew, of the 



Second Naval Battalion, who were fitting out the " Jason," also did 
their duty well; but that ship was delayed at League Island through 
no fault of the Naval Militia. On March 31st, you informed me that 
the Honorable Secretary of the Navy had requested the Governor to 
enlist the Naval Militia to its full strength. Recruiting was started, 
and no difficulty was experienced in obtaining men; uniforms and 
equipments were supplied to them, by the State authorities, with 
extreme promptness, and the force increased to i,o6S officers and 
men. 

On the day of the arrival of the " Nahant " at New York, April 
17th, the First Naval Battalion was called upon to furnish a crew for 
another vessel, the " Yankee." The orders were obeyed, and one 
hundred and fifty-five men were ready within six hours. 

On the following day, preparatory orders were received to man 
the U. S. Signal Stations at Montauk Point, Quogue, and Fire 
Island. Lieut. F. B. Anderson had previously been in communica- 
tion with Capt. C. F. Goodrich, U. S. N.,and had made preliminary 
contracts for equipment and stores for all the Atlantic coast. Lieut. 
Anderson's forethought and preparation left little to be done, and 
the stations were manned, under orders from Washington, on April 
23d, this State being the first to report. 

On April 22d an increase of fifty-four petty officers and men of 
the First Naval Battalion was authorized, in order to properly man 
the engine-room of the " Yankee." Through the untiring efforts of 
Engineer Lieut. -Comdr. A. B. Fry, they were at once enlisted, and 
•on the following day the "Yankee's" crew was ordered on board 
the " New Hampshire" for duty. On April 26th her complement 
■was again increased by seventy men. On April 28th the "Yan- 
kee's " crew was mustered into the Navy. 

Prior to this date the Honorable Assistant Secretary of the 
Navy had suggested the propriety of recruiting a torpedo and elec- 
trical division. I therefore obtained authority from you on April 
a5th to create such an organization, to be known as the First Sepa- 
rate Naval Division, and its formation was at once begun ; the com- 
mand was given to Lieut. W. H. Weimorc, who showed great energy 
and ability in perfecting the division. A large portion of its men 
entered the Navy as telegraphers and signalmen, while some were 
assigned to cruising vessels. 

On April 29th the crew of the "Nahant" was mustered into 
the Navy. 

On April 30th Lieut. -C\>nulr. R. S. Sloan was appointed on the 
Staff of the Captain, and until June 17th, when he entered the 
Navy, rendered most loyal and able assistance in helping to organ- 
ize the .\uxiliary Naval Force. 



On April 39th and 31st, at the request of Rear Admiral Henry 
Erben, U. S. N., in charge of the Coast Defence System of the 
United States, I sent details to Willets Point, by your authority, to 
assist in protecting the mine fields, as Admiral Erben had no one to 
fulfil this duty. These men were volunteers, and it is respectfully 
suggested that the General Government be asked to defray the 
expense incident thereto. On May 7th the Governor ordered a 
patrol of the lower bay and of Throggs Neck, to consist of eight 
tugs, one steam launch, and a yacht (kindly loaned by Mr. Alfred 
Carr), the General Government not having sufficient vessels in this 
district to take care of the mine fields, and protect incoming and 
outgoing commerce. Seventeen officers and 112 men of the Second 
Naval Battalion, ably commanded by Lieut. Commander R. P, 
Forshew, performed this duty in a most creditable manner for 
ten days, the State assuming the expense of the tugs and the 
pay of the men. 

I would respectfully call your attention to the large amount of 
work done by the Naval Militia during the preceding dates; the 
total interval being less than a month. The organization was 
doubled in strength : over four hundred recruits were fully 
equipped and uniformed: three large naval vessels were manned 
and officered; signal stations were established, and the commerce of 
the harbor of New York protected for ten days. These labors were 
accomplished by the State. Our organizations were not recog- 
nized, as such, by the Navy Department; both officers and men 
laboring as individuals without pay from the Government. They 
were compelled to stand examinations of a high standard, and 
while adjusting their business affairs had no promise that they would 
be given a reward for their patriotic self-sacrifice. As one of the 
many instances of that self-sacrifice, the " Nahant's " crew served 
from about the ist of April to the 29th of that month before it was 
mustered into the Navy, and certain of the officers who had been 
on board the vessel from the time she left League Island did not 
receive their orders to the monitor until June 14th. Again, the ra- 
tions for the Coast Signal Service had to be supplied by the State, 
for many days, after the men were on their stations. These facts 
are mentioned not in criticism of the past, but to prevent a repeti- 
tion of such errors in future war, and to show the preparedness of 
the Military Department under your charge. 

The Second Naval Battalion is especially worthy of commenda- 
tion for its activity in recruiting and its steadfastness to duty. It 
was a new organization without suitable headquarters, had to over- 
come many obstacles incident to novel conditions, and there was 



great uncertainty as to whether its men would be accepted by the 
Government. I respectfully urge that the Borough of Brooklyn be 
requested to provide the Second Naval Battalion with a proper ar- 
mory on the water front at the earliest possible date. 

On May 14th the Navy Department reported that the monitor 
" Jason " was ready for sea. Seven officers and sixty-five men from 
the Second Naval Battalion, and one officer and ten men from the 
Second Separate Naval Division left the following day to man that 
vessel at League Island. She arrived at New York on May 23d; 
thence proceeded to Fisher's Island Sound, and remained near that 
locality until the close of the war. 

II. Work of the Auxili.\ry N.\v.\l Force.* 

Up to this time only about one-half of the Naval Militia had 
been called into war service, and little had been done, except by the 
Coast Signal office in Washington, to place the organization in the 
field of duty for which it had been especially trained. Through the 
persistent and intelligent efforts of Capt. H. L. Satterlee, assisted 
by Lieut. Aaron Vanderbilt, Congress had passed, in June, a 
law creating an Auxiliary Naval Force, to consist of members of 
the Naval Militias of the states, and other persons; and on June 14th 
the U. S. S. "New Hampshire" was transferred to the Navy. 
From that date to the close of the war she was used as a receiv- 
ing ship and for the headquarters of the Third District. Capt. 
John R. Bartlett, U. S. N., was appointed chief of the U. S. 
Auxiliary Naval Force, and all the states are indebted to him for 
his appreciation of the proper sphere of the Naval Militia, and for 
his untiring efforts in its behalf. 

The appendices show that up to this date only 521 of the Naval 
Militia had entered the Navy. The Second Separate Naval Division 
of Rochester had not been recognized by the Navy Department ; 
although a recruiting office had been opened at Buffalo. The men 
of this Division had been mustering daily at their armory, but no 
orders were received from Washington. At my request Captain 
Bartlett succeeded in getting recognition for this organization, and 
64 officers and men were allowed to enlist. Lieut. Walbridgc and 
his division accepted any duty on any ship or station. 

On July 5th I had the honor of receiving a commission as 
Lieut. -Comdr, U. S. Navy, and on July 8th was ordered as Assist- 
ant to Chief, U. S. Auxiliary Naval Force, in charge of the Third 
District. 



* The Auxiliary N.ival Force, altliough an addition to the navy, was part of the 
regular service. Tiie ofTicers received the same commissions as other volunteers and 
the men were enlisted into the United .States Navy. 



The District extended from Newport, R. I., to Seabright, N. J., 
and included the following vessels : 

New Hampshire, Lieut. -Comdr. J.W. Miller, Commanding. 
Nahant, Lieut. E. M. Harmon, Commanding. 

Jason, Lieut. Gardiner I. Jones, (*) Commanding. 

Aileen, Lieut. W. R. Addicks and Lieut. W. H. 

Stayton, Commanding. 
Freelance, Lieut. T. C. Zerega, Commanding. 

Elfrida, Lieut. (J. G.) M. A. Orlopp, Commanding. 

Enquirer, Lieut. W. H. Stayton, Commanding. 

Huntress, Lieuts. F. Parker (*) and W. R. Addicks, (*) 

Commanding. 
Restless, Lieut. A. H. Day, (*) Commanding. 

Kanawha, Lieut. F. F. Fletcher, (*) Commanding. 

Sylvia, Lieut. W. G. Ford, Commanding. 

Viking, Cadet B. B. Wygant, (*) Commanding. 

The "Kanawha," "Sylvia" and "Viking" were almost imme- 
diately detached and sent to Cuba. The " New Hampshire " became 
a school of instruction, and the cutters supplied by the State were 
useful in exercising boat crews for " distant service." Lieutenant 
R. P. Forshew rendered valuable service as executive officer of the 
" New Hampshire." 

When I took command of the District, all the above vessels, 
except the " New Hampshire " and the two monitors, were under 
repairs at the New York Navy Yard, but through the exertions of 
their officers five of them were on their stations by July 15th. The 
duty assigned was to protect the mine fields at Sandy Hook, the 
Narrows, and Throgg's Neck, and to patrol the entrance to New 
York Harbor. The importance of this duty was self-evident, the 
vessels were scouts to announce the approach of the foreign foe, 
but more especially were they necessary for the guidance of domes- 
tic and deep-sea vessels through the intricate mine fields. The 
commerce of the great port of New York needed protection at every 
moment, while the mines had to be maintained intact, ready for 
instant use. The officers assigned to these vessels required, in 
addition to seaman-like qualifications, an intimate knowledge of in- 
land waters, as well as decision of character to properly enforce the 
harbor regulations, and to deal with the merchantmen. The Cap- 



(*) Lieuts. Addicks and Jones belonged to the Massachusetts Naval Militia; 
Lieut. F. Parker and Lieut. Day, to the Connecticut Militia; Lieut. Fletcher 
and Cadet Wygant to the Regular Navy. 



8 

tains of the patrol boats fulfilled these requisites, and performed 
their duty with a thoroughness which was highly commendable. 
Many of the officers in addition to their cruises along shore during 
the previous years, while in the Naval Militia had had ten days' 
experience from May 7th to May 17th in the service, when the 
Governor had ordered them to tugs patrolling the same mine fields. 

About the end of July, the danger from an enemy's fleet having 
disappeared, the army removed most of the mines, and on July 30th, 
I proceeded from New York with the " Elfrida," "Freelance," 
" Aileen " and " Restless " for a cruise of instruction through Long 
Island Sound; the " Huntress " joining the squadron on August 2d. 
It was a most valuable experience for all. The squadron was kept 
at close distance most of the time, and the various commanders 
vied with one another in perfecting fleet evolutions ; the target prac- 
tice was fair, and the night attacks at Fishers Island showed that 
the men were alert, and could be soon taught to appreciate war con- 
ditions. The vessels were handled well, especially in going in and 
out of harbors at night. The squadron returned to New York on 
August 9th. 

The next service performed by the Naval Militia, composing 
the Auxiliary Naval Force, was the patrol work at Montauk Point. 
On August nth the "Aileen," Lieut. W. H. Stayton commanding, 
was sent to Fort Pond Bay to report to Passed Asst.-Surg. Macgru- 
der, U. S. Quarantine Hospital Service, and on August 14th I 
arrived there on the " Restless." The proper courtesies were ex- 
changed with the army officials on shore. Subsequently, on August 
24th, the " Restless " was relieved by the "Elfrida." Relative to 
the duty performed at Montauk, I quote from the excellent report 
of Lieutenant Stayton submitted to me. "The work was of various 
characters, as follows : 

" I. Establishing Quarantine Grounds. After consultation 
with Surgeon Macgruder, the quarantine grounds were selected and 
buoyed off just to the westward of Rocky Point. All incoming 
transports, numbering more than thirty, were met and conducted to 
their anchorage by the auxiliary vessels. The transport fleet was 
kept anchored in proper and convenient formation, the loaded 
transports nearer the harbor, and those unloaded, but still in quar- 
antine, well to the westward. Instructions were given and all prep- 
arations made for conducting the transports to safe anchorages in 
the event of a blow. 

" 2. Maintaining Quarantine Regulations. Both by day and 
night the transports were prevented from communicating with other 
vessels or with the shore. This required active service, as many as 
thirty or forty vessels having been met and warned daily. 



"3- Establishing and Maintaining Harbor Regulations. After 
consultation with Surgeon Macgruder and the Transportation De- 
partment of the Army, regulations upon this subject were estab- 
lished and enforced. There were but two wharves, one used for 
quarantine and the other for general purposes. All incoming ves- 
sels were stopped and directed to the proper wharf. They were 
required to anchor in proper formation at convenient points until 
the facilities for landing permitted the vessel to go to the wharf, due 
regard being paid to seeing that troops and perishable stores were 
first landed. 

"4. Attending to the Landing of Troops. The vessels were 
in constant attendance and rendered assistance when requested, and 
whenever the service could be performed without danger of infec- 
tion. 

"5. Carrying Stores to Transports. Many transports came in 
short of stores, provisions and medicines. We supplied them with 
army. Red Cross and stores received from individual contributions. 
We also met each incoming transport, ascertained the needs of 
those whose troops could not at once disembark, and to the best of 
our ability supplied them. The patrol vessels also performed all 
possible service for the Red Cross, purchasing, carrying and distrib- 
uting stores necessary for the immediate relief of the sick. 

"Various miscellaneous services were also performed, such as 
transporting sick officers, taking the convalescents out for air; car- 
rying general officers to places they desired to visit officially; taking 
dispatches to and from men-of-war in quarantine. This latter item, 
while seemingly unimportant, resulted in getting the 'St. Paul' 
and ' Harvard ' away from Fort Pond Bay sooner than they would 
otherwise have left. Telegrams could not be sent on board the ves- 
sels, and would have remained at the office for days. We took the 
telegrams, opened them, and delivered them by megaphone, saving 
many days charter price of the American liners. 

"In conclusion, I have the honor to report the very valuable 
services of Surgeon J. C. MacEvittt of the 'Jason,' who went 
ashore, and, during that vessel's stay, performed arduous and valu- 
ble service in charge of a ward in the hospital. Maj.-Gen. Young, 
U. S. A., requested me to specially mention Surgeon MacEvitt's 
services and requests your commendation thereof. Lieut. Jones 
was indefatigable in his efforts to relieve the sick, and was very suc- 
cessful. I trust you will commend him for his zeal, faithfulness, 
and humanity. A better estimate can be made of the extent of the 
services of the patrol fleet at Fort Pond Bay, when it is mentioned 
that the vessels averaged more than eighteen hours per day under 
way." 



In drawing your attention to the excellent service of Surgeon 
MacEvitt and Lieut. Jones, mentioned by Lieut. Stayton, I would 
state that Lieut. Stayton's indefatigable work at Fort Pond Bay was 
worthy of the highest praise. He was ably assisted by Lieut. "M. A. 
Orlopp, commanding the "Elfrida," and subsequently by Lieut. 
T. C. Zerega, who relieved Lieut. Orlopp. 

About the end of August the Au.\iliary Fleet was put out of com- 
mission, and the monitors returned to League Island. Prior to this, 
however, the efficiency of the Naval Militia had been further tested, 
when, on July i6th, the cruiser "Buffalo" and the transport 
"Rainbow" were ordered to New York from Norfolk. No regular 
officers were at the time available. Lieut. W. H. Stayton was 
ordered to command the former vessel, and Lieut. E. N. Harmon the 
latter. Lieut. R. P. Forshew, Ensigns E. N. Walbridge, F. P. Hill 
and S. L. Crossing joined the "Buffalo," and Ensign E. N. 
Robinson the "Rainbow." This was the first instance when vessels 
of large tonnage had been completely officered by the Naval 
Militia. The work was creditably performed ; the vessels made quick 
passages to New York, and the officers were complimented on the 
manner in which the ships were handled. 

While the New York Signal Stations were not officially under 
the charge of the commanding officer of the Third District, of the 
Au.xiliary Naval Force, their headquarters were on board the " New 
Hampshire," and Capt. Bartlett was also Chief of that service. 
Through his courtesy, I had ample opportunities of judging how its 
duties were performed. Lieut. H. L. Satterlee (formerly captain on 
the Governor's Staff) and Lieuts. F. B. Anderson and E. C. Weeks, 
and Assistant-Paymaster W. L. Sawyer, were on the staff of Capt. 
Bartlett at Washington, while Lieut. Alexander Duane and Ensign 
W. H. Gunning were stationed at New York. Capt. Bartlett repeatedly 
informed me that these officers performed most intelligent and loyal 
duty. The outlying stations at Montauk, Quogue and Fire Island 
were in charge of petty officers, who were left greatly to their own dis- 
cretion at remote points, and fulfilled the requirements of the posi- 
tions to the satisfaction of the Navy Department. 

All the duties mentioned under this caption, namely, on board 
monitors, converted yachts, and in the Coast Signal Service, were 
those to which the State had trained its Naval Militia, under sugges- 
tions from Washington. 

HI. The Cruise of the U. S. S. "Y.\nkee." 

It should be remembered that, during April, current opinion, 
as expressed in many newspapers, still maintained that the " Maine " 
had been blown up by an interior explosion, and that the modern 



II 

battleship was an intricate piece of mechanism, which might prove 
most disastrous to its crew in time of action. Consequently, the 
Navy found it extremely difficult to obtain recruits, and called upon 
the Naval Militia to man sea-going vessels. New York volunteered 
for the " Yankee," and this merchant vessel was converted into a 
man-of-war and placed on her station in eleven days after her crew 
was mustered into the Navy. The ** Yankee " was the first of her 
type to be ready for sea; her crew was mustered into the Navy 
twelve days before any National Guard organization entered the 
Army from this State. She was the first vessel manned by Naval 
Militiamen to be under fire ; the last ship to leave action at the 
Santiago battle of June 6th ; and the naval force of New York 
was in an engagement before any other volunteer organization of the 
United States. 

The thanks of New York are due to Commander W. H. Brown- 
son, U. S. N.. for his qualities as a fair and just commanding officer, 
and for the opportunity he gave the " Yankee's " men to show the 
excellent gunnery which won the applause of Sampson's fleet. 
Their previous training had been confined to coast-defence 
exercise, but they soon mastered ship technicalities, and left the 
Navy, on September 2d, with an unexcelled record, amid the 
plaudits of their fellow-citizens. Appendix K is the report of Com- 
mander Duncan, and gives the details of the "Yankee's " cruise. 

IV. The Lessons to be Derived from the War. 

1. The general line of policy pursued by this State during the 
past should not be changed. The personnel of the Naval Militia is 
well fitted to defend the immediate coast of the State. If it be de- 
sired to perfect the officers and men for deep-sea duty, the general 
government must provide suitable tools, in the way of modern ships. 
This has been recommended by me in many annual reports. 

2. If the general government provides these ships, it would 
naturally expect a high standard of excellence both in officers and 
men. This standard can be obtained by the enactment of a Na- 
tional Naval Reserve Law. All naval militiamen who pass the 
examinations should belong to the Naval Reserve. 

3. There would thus exist two forces, progressing together 
towards the perfection set by the Navy ; that of the State, sufficient 
in the future, as in the past, to protect its own harbors ; that of the 
government, to form in time of war its auxiliary naval force. The 
former to be an organization. The latter a collection of individuals, 
professionally developed from the State force and from the merchant 
marine. 



4- The National Naval Reserve should have its own ranks and 
ratings, and they should be distinct from those of the Navy. No 
one should be entitled to enter the Navy as an officer in time of 
war unless he has served in the Naval Reserve. All officers and 
men of the Naval Militias, who served in the late war, should be 
eligible for the Reserve: their ranks and ratings to be determined 
by a standard Government examination. 

5. The general government should standardize the Naval 
Militia of the various States, by refusing to give arms or equipments 
unless a certain minimum of e.xcellence was reached. The scope of 
examinations for entrance to the Naval Reserve should be published, 
and a certain proportion of the Naval Militiamen of each State 
should have passed it before any aid was supplied by Congress. A 
special examination should be given to men wishing to join the Signal 
Service. 

Some of our best officers were not able to enter the Navy, 
although experts in the branch which the Navy Department had 
encouraged. The country thus lost the services of many of our 
most enthusiastic and intelligent rank and file, for the reason that 
they could not pass the strict requirements of an ensign's or lieuten- 
ant's examination. 

Others, who were the first to volunteer, received commis- 
sions far below their deserts. The case of Lieut. S. D. Greene 
was especially noticeable. He graduated with the highest honors 
at the Naval Academy, and had served in the Naval Militia of 
the State since it was organized. Notwithstanding this record 
he was given a commission as junior lieutenant on board the 
" Yankee; " the reasons assigned by the Department being that the 
complement of that ship permitted no higher rank, and that certain 
members of his class were only junior lieutenants. Many non-grad- 
uates, who held lower positions in several different states, and who 
subsequently entered the navy, were given higher grades. The in- 
ference from the department's ruling would naturally be that it is a 
detriment to graduate as a "star" at the Naval Academy, and to 
promptly offer one's services to the country. Such examples of in- 
justice can under a proper system be avoided in the future. 

6. The experience of the war has shown that certain minor 
changes should be made, such as the following: Uniform of enlisted 
men should be that of the Navy, as far as material is concerned, 
and similar in design to the regulars, with the addition of a suitable 
State and organization distinguishing mark, which can be removed, 
if necessary, in time of war. The uniform should be purchased from 
the Navy, thereby saving a large expense to the State. Paymasters 
should be bonded, and their duties should be the same as those in 



13 

the regular service. The physical examination should be that 
of the Navy. 

7. Although superficially not germane to this report, I have 
considered it my duty to dwell upon the subject of Federal and 
State relationship, as the question will undoubtedly be brought up 
in official quarters at Washington. The attempt may be made to 
centralize all military and naval power at the Capital, and to mini- 
mize the service which the volunteers have rendered the country. 
Certain members of the Naval Militia are in favor of this proposi- 
tion, but others who have also seen duty in the Navy still 
believe most firmly that the nine years of effort spent in building up 
the State naval forces have been productive of excellent results, 
even when tested by service and a war, for which the whole 
country was but partially prepared. They feel positive that the 
quick patriotic response of the Naval Militia to every call made 
upon it, that the sentiment developed for the Navy by those who 
had long interested themselves in marine study, far outweighed any 
technical short-comings, which were quickly obliterated after a few 
weeks' service afloat. 

I, therefore, respectfully suggest that the State of New York 
continue its generous support to the Naval Militia, and that it urge 
upon Congress the immediate organization of a National Naval Re- 
serve on the plan outlined above, not to take the place of the pres- 
ent State force, but to supplement it. There will thus still exist 
local organizations as schools for naval education ; continuing the 
coast defense training until the individual members can graduate 
into a national corps. Such a process of evolution accords more 
with the spirit of our institutions rather than that revolutionary one 
which centers all power in the general government; for the govern- 
ment works slowly, and at a distance, in times of peace; and does 
not always feel the pulse of the people who must naturally be relied 
upon to furnish volunteers in time of war. 

In addition to the persons previously mentioned in this report, 
thanks are due to the Red Cross Society and to the Naval Reserve 
Association for hospital stores and supplies, and to the Sons of the 
Revolution for colors presented. 

Passed Assistant Surgeon J. S. King, and Assistant Pay- 
master A. R. Pardington were most faithful and zealous in the 
performance of the duties of their Departments. 

Mention should also be made of those officers who volunteered 
and who were not accepted by the Navy, although they were well 
fitted for coast defence duty. Actuated by the highest motives of 
patriotism and without official reward, they performed many days of 
unostentatious service at a time when certain civilians, manifestly 



14 
unfit for government positions, were clamoring for high military 
place and reward. The officers of the Naval Militia of this State, 
with one exception, stood by their men and received junior commis- 
sions, or not, as their country saw fit to bestow. The lesson thus 
set should not be forgotten. 

Respectfully, 

J. W. Miller, 

Captain, N. M.

Appendix K. 

Headquarters First Naval Battalion, New York, 
Foot East Twenty-eighth Street, 

U. S. S. "New Hampshire," 

New York, September 22d, 1898. 

Captain J. W. Miller, 

Commanding Naval Militia, 
New York. 

Sir: 

I beg to submit my report of the work performed by the detail, 
from the First Naval Battalion of New York on the U. S. S. 
" Yankee." 

I received orders on April 23d to send a detail of officers and 
men to the Navy Yard, New York, who were willing to volunteer for 
duty on the "Yankee," and on April 26th sent the detail as ordered. 
The men all enlisted, and the officers passed their examinations and 
were duly commissioned, having been granted leave of absence by 
the Commander-in-Chief, New York State. 

The crew of the " Yankee," with the exception of the command- 
ing officer, executive officer and navigator, was entirely composed of 
men furnished by the First Naval Battalion of New York. 

The only casualties occurring were the death of Landsman T. C. 
Le Valley from appendicitis at the hospital, Key West, after an 
operation had been performed by the surgeons at the hospital, and 
the wounding of Landsman S. P. Kennedy in an engagement with a 
Spanish gunboat at Cienfuegos, June 17th. The latter was trans- 
ferred to the hospital ship " Solace," and has recovered. When the 
ship's company were paid off at Philadelphia, September 2d, 1898, 
there was no one on the sick list, and the battalion marched across 
to the " New Hampshire " with 100 per cent, present, which of itself 
shows the care and attention that was paid to the health and com- 
fort of the men by the regular officers in charge of the ship. 

I inclose abstract of the log of the "Yankee." We joined the 
ship May 6th, and left the yard May 9th, and proceeded to sea May 
nth, and from that time on were continuously on duty on the 
Northern Patrol until May 29th, when she sailed from New York for 
Cuba, and from that date until the ship arrived in New York August 
28th we were actively engaged in Cuban waters. 

I am glad to report that during the whole cruise there were no 
serious infractions of regulations, and nothing but very light punish- 
ments were found necessary by the commanding officer of the 



56 

"Yankee." When the men first went aboard the " Yankee " they 
were absolutely unaccustomed to sea life and to looking after them- 
selves in the messes or elsewhere, and the exigencies of the service 
were such that they were sent on a ship hurriedly and incompletely 
fitted out, and the day after leaving the Navy Yard the ship went to 
sea on patrol duty, which kept the ship constantly at sea, and gave 
no chance for the usual shaking down. All this made it very hard 
on the crew, and it took, longer for them to get in shape. As to 
handling the battery, that was picked up at once, and the men were 
always ready and keen at any time to jump to their guns. While in 
Southern waters they were called on to coal ship several times night 
and day, which was work of a very trying character, and work 
which they never had been called on before to do, but it was done 
without any complaints, irrespective of time or temperature, and to 
the best of their ability. 

The only criticism that has been made of the officers and crew 
was the fact that they were not seagoing men, and in this respect I 
would state that in January last I was unofficially in Washington, 
and while there called at the Navy Department and asked if they 
could tell me, supposing we had trouble with Spain, what the men of 
the First Naval Battalion, New York, would be required to do. I 
was told that we would be on the second line of defense, and I 
endeavored to get ready on that line. When the war did break out I 
was ordered, on very short notice, to furnish a crew for the U. S. S. 
" Nahant " and U. S. S. " Yankee," besides manning the signal sta- 
tions. These crews were furnished when required. I respectfully 
suggest that if the Naval Militia, of New York State, is expected to 
furnish full crews for ships in times of war, the United States Govern- 
ment should supply them with a seagoing vessel, capable of berthing 
at least one hundred men, and mounting a few modern rapid-fire guns, 
which vessel could be taken out on short cruises in summer, and 
would give the officers and men a chance to familiarize themselves 
in time of peace with the duties they would be called on to perform 
in time of war. 

In conclusion, I beg to state that the officers and men of the 
First Naval Battalion, New York, have responded to every call of 
the Government, have performed all the duties that were required 
of them cheerfully and to the best of their ability. 

Very respectfully, 

W. B. Duncan, Jr., 

Commander.

Extract of Log of the U. S. S. " Yankee." 

April 14th, 1S98: The U.S. S. "Yankee," formerly the Morgan 
liner " El Norte," was placed in commission in the Brooklyn Navy 
Yard. 

April 19th: Comdr. Williard H. Brownson joined the "Yankee" 
and took command of her. 

May 6th: Naval Militia joined the ship, and commenced taking 
on ammunition and stores. 

May 8th: United States Marine Guard came aboard under the 
command of Lieutenant Pendleton. 

May 9th: The "Yankee " left the Navy Yard and proceeded to 
anchorage off Tompkinsville, where we remained until 

May nth: Proceeded to Provincetown, Mass., arriving there on 
the evening of the same day. That night received orders to proceed 
with the U. S. S. " Columbia, "to the vicinity of Block Island, and in 
company with that vessel to establish a patrol from Block Island to 
Henlopen. This duty we performed in conjunction with the 
" Columbia," for a portion of the time, and over the whole route 
from Block Island to Henlopen for the remainder of the time until 

May 26th: Proceeded to New York for coal. The orders under 
which we were acting, while on patrol duty, made it necessary for 
us to report every day, either at Block Island or Henlopen. In 
order to accomplish this, it was necessary for us to run at a high 
rate of speed, day and night, generally through thick and foggy 
weather. At night we were not allowed to show any lights or sound 
the whistle, so that this duty was a particularly dangerous one. 
This latter fact is evidenced by the accident the "Columbia" met 
with, shortly after we had returned to New York, when the British 
tramp ran into her, ramming a large hole in her side and sinking the 
Englishman. 

Sunday, May 29th, 1898: Sailed from New York, passing Sandy 
Hook at 5.00 p. M. ; steamed to the southward. 

Monday, May 30th: While at target practice. Corporal John 
James Murray was killed, and Private Jesse Fuller, both of the 
Marine Guard, was wounded by an accident at the forward-port 
six-pounder, due to an unusually long hang-fire, with the English 
cordite. At sunset Corporal Murray was buried at sea with appro- 
priate ceremonies. 

Thursday, June 2d: Arrived at Mole St. Nicholas at 5.30 p. m., 
and sighted in the dusk two suspicious steamers, when we cleared 
ship for action and steamed slowly into the harbor, the two suspi- 
cious steamers turning out to be the " St. Louis "and the collier 
" Justin." We all left the Mole that night.

Friday, June 3d : Arrived at Santiago early in the morning, the 
** Justin " coming in after us. We found the fleet off Santiago de 
Cuba to consist of the following: The flagship "New York," 
" Brooklyn," " Iowa," " Massachusetts," " Oregon," " Texas, 
" New Orleans," " Dolphin," " Mayflower," " St. Louis," " Porter," 
" Marblehead " and despatch boats. We at once reported to the 
flagship and took up our position with the fleet. 

On Friday, June 3d, in the night about 11 P. M., the " New 
Orleans " being stationed next to us, sent up three red rockets, and 
signalled that she had seen a torpedo boat putting off from the 
harbor. The " New Orleans" at once started blazing away at the 
torpedo boat, and the " Yankee " quickly followed suit ; signals 
were sent up summoning the entire fleet, and in a few minutes the 
whole squadron was bearing down upon the '* New Orleans " and 
'* Yankee," and amidst a terrific bombardment the torpedo boat 
disappeared ; on Saturday morning the " Porter " picked up two 
expended torpedo tubes. 

Saturday, June 4th : In the afternoon we received a signal from 
the flagship to " Clear ship for action," and to take up our position 
preparatory to bombarding the forts ; we at once prepared to 
engage the enemy, the " Yankee " having the best position nearest 
the forts and the shore. When close inland we discovered a small 
battery, and the Captain, Commander Brownson, signalled to the 
flagship for permission to bombard the fort near the railway trestle 
and reduce it, but the Admiral signalled back, "You may not re- 
duce the forts," much to the disgust of all the officers and crew. 
About 5 P. M. the Admiral signalled that the forts were not to be 
attacked to-day, and the fleet retired, each ship resuming its original 
position. 

Sunday, June 5th: Lying in our position with the fleet. 

Monday, June 6th : At 5 A. M. all hands were called, and at 7.30 
the bombardment of the forts and batteries of Santiago de Cuba 
commenced. The " New York " was nearest the shore, and next 
to her and between her and the "New Orleans" the " Yankee" 
took up her position. The bombardment lasted three hours, during 
which time all the batteries were silenced. During the latter part 
of the bombardment the " Yankee " had the closest position to the 
batteries and shore. The "Yankee" and "New Orleans" also 
silenced the small battery near the railway trestle. About noon 
the " Dolphin " noticed a train running along the railway near the 
coast, and promptly opened fire on the train with its small guns, 
killing, it is reported, 112 men, and tearing up a great deal of the 
track. The "Yankee" was the last ship to retire from the bom- 
bardment. 



59 

Tuesday, June 7th : The "Yankee," "St. Louis" and "Marble- 
head " all sailed for Guantanamo, or Fort Cumberland, arriving there 
about 5 in the morning, when all hands were called, and we at once 
started in bombarding a block-house and small village near the 
entrance of the harbor ; the block-house was entirely destroyed, 
as was the village, by the " Yankee," and we, (the " Marblehead " 
and "Yankee,") then proceeded further up the harbor, until we 
sighted a Spanish gunboat, at which we took several shots, but 
were unable to hit her, owing to the fact that she retired behind 
the fort ; we then sent several shots into the fort, and returned to 
the " St. Louis," which had been left at the entrance of the harbor 
to cut the cables. This she succeeded in doing, cutting both cables, 
the "Marblehead " cutting the third and a smaller one; the result 
being that Santiago de Cuba is now without cable connection of any 
kind, and is unable to communicate either by mail or cable with 
Spain or the rest of the world. At 10 P. M. the "Yankee" sailed 
for Santiago de Cuba, arriving there early 

Thursday, June 9th : Left Santiago de Cuba about midnight of 
Wednesday, arriving at Mole St. Nicholas at noon ; on the way we 
overhauled two steamers — one turning out to be the " Norse," a 
Norwegian steamer, and the other the " Ely," an Englishman. We 
fired a blank shot from out forward six-pounder to bring these 
vessels to. The papers of both were examined and found to be 
correct. A bumboat came alongside from the Mole, and we were 
able to buy oranges, alligator pears, and other fruit. Heat terrific. 
The troops of the fort at the Mole were parading in our honor. 
We left the Mole about 7 P. M., and at 10 P. M. sighted a light off 
our port bow ; later on more lights were discovered, one of them 
being a very powerful search light ; and it was supposed that we 
had run across the Spanish fleet. We put on full steam and event- 
ually succeeded in getting away from the fleet and arriving safely 
at Santiago de Cuba early. 

Friday, June loth : We reported our experience to the Admiral, 
and a boat was sent ashore to inquire definitely whether the Cervera 
fleet was still in the harbor. We left Santiago at noon and arrived 
at Port Antonio, Jamaica, at 7 P. M., leaving there 

Saturday, June nth, at i A. M., and arriving at Montego 
Bay, Jamaica, at 8 in the morning. We found in the harbor the 
English cruiser " Indefatigable," and our Captain went on board, 
later in the day Captain Primrose returning the visit. 

Sunday, June 12th: Left Montego Bay Saturday evening, 
arriving at Santiago de Cuba early Sunday morning. At noon 
to-day we sailed from Santiago and proceeded along the southern 
coast of Cuba in search of the Spanish steamer " Purissima Con- 
ception," arriving at Cienfuegos. 



6o 

Monday, June 13th, in the morning: At 1.15 P. M, we sighted 
a steamer near the entrance to the harbor, which proved to be a 
gunboat, apparently coming out of the harbor to capture what she 
thought to be an American merchantman ; we trained our guns aft 
to keep up the illusion, and started for her at full speed. As soon 
as we were close enough to her we opened fire upon her, which she 
immediately returned with good aim ; the forts and batteries at the 
harbor also opened on us, the shells from both the forts and the 
gunboat falling close around us. Another boat, a smaller one, at 
this time came out of the harbor and assisted the first gunboat and 
forts ; eventualjly we succeeded in driving both the enemy's boats 
into the harbor after a hard fight, and we ourselves retired to a 
safe distance. During the engagement Landsman Kennedy was 
seriously wounded in the left shoulder. We dropped several shells 
into the forts, exploding a magazine. We afterwards learned from 
the Cubans that we had hit the gunboat, killing four men and 
wounding seven, and the boat itself had to be beached as soon as it 
got to the river. 

Tuesday, June 14th: Sighted a man-of-war coming out of the 
harbor; immediately cleared ship for action, and gave chase; she 
turned out to be the German cruiser "Geira"; we spoke her, and 
she proceeded on her way. Returned to Cienfuegos, and continued 
the blockade of the fort. 

Wednesday, June 15th: Still oft" Cienfuegos watching for Span- 
ish merchantman; but as she did not put in an appearance by noon, 
we started at i P.M. for Santiago de Cuba, arriving there 

Thursday, June i6th, at 1.30 P.M., too late for the bombard- 
ment of the forts, which had taken place earlier in the day. The 
"Vesuvius" having been successful in dropping several dynamite 
shells into one of the batteries, creating great damage. 

Friday, June 17th: Left Santiago at 11 A.M. for Guantanamo, 
where we arrived at 2.30 P.M., finding in the harbor the " Oregon," 
" Dolphin," "St. Paul," the " Solace," and several other American 
ships. The American flag flying over an encampment occupied by 
the marines, and the Cuban flag flying over the village destroyed by 
us on our last visit there. Kennedy, Whitman and Bogert were 
transfer! ed to the " Solace," the hospital ship. 

Saturday, June i8th: Coaled all Friday night and Saturday at 
Guantanamo, where we were joined by the " St. Paul," the " New 
York," and other ships. Left here 6 P.AL bound for Cienfuegos. 

Sunday, June 19th: En route for Cienfuegos. Overhauled and 
boarded the British schooner " Union," bound from Montego Bay to 
Trinidad, Cuba. A small fire was discovered in one of our bunkers, 
which was e.xtinguished. Overhauled a Norwegian bark, and also 



6i 

overhauled and boarded the British steamer ** Adula," of the Atlas 
Line, with a number of Spanish refugees from Cienfuegos, bound 
for Kingston, Jamaica. Arrived off Cienfuegos in the evening. 

Monday, June 20th: During the night we arrived off Casilda 
harbor and discovered a steamer in the harbor; also a dismantled 
gunboat. We opened fire on the steamer at 9.30 A.M., and she came 
out for a short time, rapidly retreating back to the harbor again 
under our fire; a small gunboat also came out and fired at us without 
effect; we shelled the fort with shrapnel and did some damage, but, 
as we were unable to enter the harbor we could not destroy either 
the gunboat or steamer. We ceased firing at 12.30. 

Tuesday, June 21st: Whilst coasting along the coast to the west 
of Cienfuegos, about noon, we saw a small party of Cubans, and 
sent a boat ashore to communicate with them. The boat brought 
back three of their leaders, one of them being the Governor of Man- 
tanzas, Col. E. V. Zegueira, and we supplied them with provis- 
ions, medicines, tobacco, etc. The Cubans also told us that we 
sunk the gunboat that came out of Cienfuegos harbor on the 13th 
of June and attacked us under cover of the forts. They said that 
the gunboat w-as riddled from stem to stern, and took fire and burned 
the moment she got back to the wharf. Four of her men were 
killed and seven wounded. Whilst the whaleboat was being hoisted 
after taking the Cubans ashore, it was dropped, and all the men 
were pitched into the sea; fortunately they were all saved. In the 
evening we sighted our sister ship, the "Dixie," and our Captain 
went aboard her. 

Wednesday, June 22d: Off Casilda harbor. Tried to make 
an entrance into the harbor, sending a whaleboat ahead of us to 
mark out the channel with buoys; but finally decided that it would 
not be safe to take such an unwieldy and cumbersome boat up the 
harbor. The " Dixie," Commander Davis, threw some shells into 
a small fort near to Casilda, the fort answering once or twice, but 
without effect. 

Thursday, June 23d: Still blockading Casilda and Trinidad de 
Cuba. Nothing of importance occurred to-day; we sent a whale- 
boat ashore near Casilda, but were unable to communicate with the 
insurgents. 

Friday, June 24th: Off Trinidad de Cuba. At noon, whilst 
cruising along the coast, five miles to the west of Trinidad de Cuba, 
we discovered a Cuban flag on the shore; a whaleboat was sent in, 
and brought off a lieutenant of the Cuban army, who reported that 
there was a small force of Cubans in the vicinity. We supplied them 
with some provisions and tobacco, and sent them ashore at 4 P.M. 



62 

Saturday, June 25th. We left Trinidad de Cuba at dusk on 
Friday evening, arriving off the coast of the Isle of Pines about 
noon, where we discovered several small sloops. We nred a blank 
shot across their bows, but, as they paid no attention to this, we 
sent a solid one, to which they replied by hoisting the Spanish flag 
and sailing in close inshore under cover of the reefs. In the after- 
noon we sent two cutters to the fishing boats; one boat under 
Lieutenant Cutler and the other under Ensign Diniock. These boats 
captured the fishing smacks, five in number, and brought them 
alongside the " Yankee." They had a large quantity of fish aboard, 
intended for Havana; four dogs and two Spaniards. The dogs and 
Spaniards were brought aboard, and the Spaniards were allowed to 
return ashore with their own effects later in the evening. The boats 
were burned and sunk during the night. In the evening we sighted 
what was apparently a Spanish torpedo boat, but she disappeared on 
seeing us, and we saw no more of her. 

Sunday, June 26th : Cruising off the coast of the Isle of Pines 
during the night and early morning. Boarded the American ship 
" Hollyhock," found her papers were all right and permitted her to 
proceed on her way to Honduras. Also boarded the British steamer 
" Bangore Head," bound from Swansea to New Orleans. About 9 
A. M. started for Key West, arriving there without any further inci- 
dent on Monday, June 27th, for coal, provisions, ammunition, etc., 
at 12.35 P- ^^-j ^"^ found already there amongst other ships the

held to-day on an oiler and fireman for refusing to obey orders. 
On Monday, July i8th, a board was convened consisting of Lieu- 
tenants Cutler, Greene and Passed Ass't Surgeon J. P, McGowan 
to inquire into the circumstances of the death of Private W. W. 
Smith, U. S. M. C, who shot himself in the pilot-house of the 
"Yankee" on July 8th, and the Court found that Private Smith

the North Atlantic Squadron, Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, 



64 

with his Chief of Staff, came aboard, and at 8 o'clock the " Yankee "

with Lieut. Cutler to examine her papers; these and her cargo being 
suspicious, Lieut. Cutler and his crew remained on board in posses-
